Making Sushi

Posted by Elece Hollis Mar 30, 2008

Hello Friends,

Americans are intrigued with sushi. Many people think sushi is very complicated food made with raw fish and shrimp wrapped in seaweed. Really, sushi is rice cooked, cooled, seasoned, and formed into rolls to be sliced and eaten with gusto. Sushi incorporates vegetables and other healthy goodies.

Sushi is fun to prepare, fairly simple, versatile and healthy. It is one of the fast foods of Japan. Why not try it with your children or students? It would be a good precursor to a study of the country of Japan. You may find you like sushi enough to make it a part of your own home meals.

Children will love learning some foreign words and new cooking methods. They will try some new flavors and new foods--good for them. Sushi making--It all starts with rice.
